What's a schedule, anyway?

As some of you might have already heard, I (Jason) am totally off of the night shift at the gym! Last week was my first official week (Although short, because we didn't get back in until Tuesday night from Colorado Springs.), and I have to say, it felt nice. Sleeping on a proper schedule, waking up between 8am and 9am (As opposed to between 10am and 2pm), and getting all my errands done in the day time is such a wonderful blessing! I don't think I need to bask in this any longer, but I have to say thank you for all the prayers.

The LORD has truly been working in our hearts this past month, and I can't help but share how He's been working! As stated before, the Summer months were a little difficult for me and Rachael, but after lots of prayer and meditation, it has been understood that God used that time to test our faith. Not only did that time of struggle strengthen our relationship with Him, but it also confirmed that our going to Japan is from Him. We have never been more confident of this mission to go to Japan than now... and it's only getting stronger! The LORD is good. Always.

I'll end this with scripture and a CUTE picture of Honey. This passage has been on my heart, because God has been showing me a lot in confidence and what to be confident in.

2 Corinthians 5:6-10, "Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. We live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."
